Chris - Walkley: And " for some reason it takes much longer (two or three minutes)" is a typical symptom of - Freeview signals: too much of a good thing is bad for you | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

Thanks, Briantist.

I have a full set of freeview stations, so in reality I don't have any problems (so I should stop tinkering and wait to see what next week brings!).

But from an incorrigably nerdy tinkery viewpoint, I can't help saying that I get a useless signal off 43 (zero quality, no stations found, as though it was an analogue channel) even though it's on your list. BUT I get a very good signal off 52 (which you say has gone out of business), with a list of stations that make it look like Mux A (which is shown above as being on Ch 43 ! Has someone done a swap and not told anyone?).

Also my problem with Ch40 has gone away - I moved the aerial a bit (but why necessary for just that one channel ?)

So I'll shut up now and wait for next week. From what you say about the power of CH47, perhaps the main problems for us north-facing Sheffielders next week will be the supa dupa new power levels on the other channles. Given that I'm only using an indoor aerial now, I may just end up with a traditional coat hanger stuck in the back of the set (don't try this at home, kids!).

Thanks. Chris. (CH47 pe)

Chris,(Sheff) / Robert Hill: According to what I see on the trade predictor, MuxA's present Ch52 changes Ch51 on the 21st, (next week) likewise MuxC's present Ch50 changes to Ch52 on the same date.

Chris: You should also be aware that any device receiving a signal that's on the verges of being slightly too strong can result in that device being hesitant about resolving a picture, this being due to the tuners circuitry taking time to stabilise on the excessively strong signal.

If however the signal goes over the level that allows this stabilising to take place, then it can completely block (swamps) the tuners selection circuitry resulting in nothing being received, this mystifying some people as to why they aren't receiving a signal.

Since the 7/9/11 I have lost these channels on my Freeview HD box "10 ITV 3, 16 QVC, 23 Bid TV, 27 ITV 2 +1, 30 5*, 31 5USA, 38 Quest, 46 Challenge" will i get them back after the 21/7/11?

Ian Thompson: If you are referring to receiving signals from Emley Moor, then yes!

Remember a complete factory type re-tune is required then, or just carry out the first scan without the aerial connected, this to blank out the EPG memory, then re-connect the aerial and carry out the second scan

JB38 maybe what you say may well be right. Both of us, certainly I was just commenting on what Briantist said about 52 not been on now.
